NEWS: QUB crest appears on “Pre-Paddy’s Madness” poster
It has been brought to The Gown’s attention that the Queen’s University crest appeared in the top left hand corner of posters advertising the GAA “Pre-Paddy’s Madness” night in the Bot last Tuesday. The crest appeared on the poster which advertises drinks promotions just days before St. Patrick’s Day, when the province’s media will hone in on QUB to monitor their reactions to celebrations in the Holylands. It also comes in the wake of a culling of hours for staff in the Union bars, as with profits down the Union is in the midst of attempts to attract more custom. A source within the University explained to The Gown that the QUB crest is generally only used for high profile ceremonies such as graduation. BY CATHERINE WYLIE UPDATE: RESPONSE FROM QUB

REVIEW: Exit through the Giftshop
The Mysterious street artist/vandal/topic of controversy Banksy opens with his first film, a documentary about an attempted documentary maker. Thierry Guetta, a French immigrant in Los Angeles is a camera obsessive, who through his cousin ‘Invader’, gets gradually more and more involved in the subversive world of street art. Those of you wishing to see Banksy’s face or voice will be disappointed as he’s dubbed over, but the film, rather than being about him, is rather more directed by him, about the original filmmaker as a ‘more interesting character’.

REVIEW: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
BY MATTHEW MCKERNAN www.queensfilmtheatre.co.uk
‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ is the first of the Millennium trilogy, a big-budget adaptation of a series of books by Swedish author and journalist Stieg Larsson. The story centres on both disgraced journalist Mikael and the violent and troubled young Lisbeth who, through alternate paths, become embroiled in a 40 year old mystery- the disappearance of a young woman. They investigate with an entire extended family of suspects over their shoulders. Needless to say, things get more mysterious as they get more dangerous.
